The surprise had been blown but it didn't mean that Ernie was going to do a lesser job at the party, nor did it mean that it wasn't going to be a great time. What his goal in the end was to celebrate his best friend, of course. Ernie tried his best to forgive Zacharias during these trying times, but the man was getting on his nerves. He felt bad for Smith, and had accompanied Heather to the funeral that morning, but steered clear of his former classmate, just since he wasn't sure what he'd do if he had heard another smart remark.

He shook his head as if in an effort to dislodge his former classmate from his mind. Ernie had ordered enough pizza, and put out enough crisps and other snacks to feed a small army. He would rather have too much than too little, and had similarly erred on the side of caution when it came to drink. He was aware that Bianca was going to bring in some cake, and all was well in the world. For now, at least.

Bianca & Open

Bianca had actually gotten to Ernie's a bit early to help set up, and now that the dessert hour was rapidly approaching, Bianca was getting more nervous. She uncovered her array of cupcakes and went deep red when she looked at them as though she were seeing them to first time. As though she had spent hours on them. They were actually quite varied in color and complexion, as she though that would appeal to Justin. Some were white cake with french vanilla buttercream, some were chocolate with dark chocolate ganache. There were even a few coffee and cinnamon flavored ones.

She smoothed down the front of her dress and carried a tray of cupcakes out to the table. They had a charm on them that kept them just slightly warmer than room temperature - optimum eating temp, in her opinion. She set them down and backed away from the table, not really able to meet the eyes of anyone who was actually going to eat one. She grabbed something to drink, just to have something else to focus on.

Ernie knew what it was to feel at least some sense of...modesty...around the cupcakes that Bianca made, as he himself had just a bit of difficulty with them. You would think that after years of being under the influence of Justin Finch-Fletchley one would develop some sort of immunity to things like this, but Ernie appeared to be somewhat resistant to most of Justin's influences.

Justin would've had to work hard to undo the influence of the very prudish standards of the pure-blooded Macmillans after all, which would likely take double the time to accomplish. (Yes, give it a few more years, Justin.) There had been slow and steady progress though, Ern would grant Justin that, at least. For example, Zacharias Smith was quite wrong about Ernie being "virgin boy"--he just wasn't one to broadcast his sex life or overtly and endlessly pursue what he needed.

"Thanks for bringing in dessert," Ernie said to Bianca with a confident smile (he was good at faking confidence at the very least, for the most part). "I know that Justin certainly appreciates them." He was waiting for the moment that Justin would offer him one...just since he knew that he himself would have trouble not being beet red too.

Bianca swallowed a goodly amount of her drink before turning to look up at Ernie when he spoke. Of course, he mentioned dessert and her face immediately went a deep red. "Oh um. You're welcome. It was, well, Justin requested something along those lines, so..." Bianca trailed off not at all equipped to talk about the cupcakes. Oddly, she was proud of her work though. She was so embarrassed by them because they looked quite realistic, which meant she'd done a good job.

But that meant there were rows and rows and naked breasts along the dessert table. "Thank you for having the party," she responded. "It was very nice of you to plan all this. I do wish it had remained a surprise."

"I figured as much," Ernie said to Bianca's rationale for having those types of cupcakes. He tried to add a rather casual shrug, but still feeling rather awkward at the mere thought of the cupcakes.

For a moment Ernie felt a wave of...dismay...was putting it lightly...but he tried to keep to that when he thought about Zacharias. He took a deep sip of his drink as if to try to block out that thought. It was a better day, or at least a day that he could seem to control himself. He was able to sleep, and even slept in as he had the day off. Those anger management classes did pay off.

"You're welcome," he replied, after controlling that wave of...dismay. He smiled at her. "Justin's my best mate, after all. It's the least I could do for him, really."

Bianca wasn't entirely certain she could speak more on the cupcakes so she was glad that Ernie didn't press for any details on it. She drank when he did, wondering if she should be having red wine. It always made her flush and often hit her quite hard.

She smiled back up at him. "Justin's a wonderful friend. He deserves this. he's just...so very very good at looking out for others." She blushed slightly and looked down. "I think I'd be hiding in my flat a great deal more than I already do if not for him."
